The team at Almond House are simply outstanding, their commitment and dedication to enhancing our children’s learning and experiences have been fantastic. Nothing is too much for the team, they are always more than happy to help or give advice. One thing I particularly like is the use of technology,
we get regular updates throughout the day via the app giving information on activities, sleep, eating, learning and of course the fun they’ve been having. They also take lots of pictures throughout the day so you can see all the fun the children had, which is great for tea time chats with the children about their day. We have since moved out of the area and continue to drive the extra distance due to how good this nursery is.

My son has only been attending Almond House for 6 months and we’ve nothing but positive things to say! From day one the girls were so welcoming and he settled in really quick adapting to their routine. He has made so much progress, he’s much more confident playing in larger groups and with the delicious
healthy meals provided at nursery, he‘s gained confidence to try new foods. The communication between the nursery and parents is amazing and they’re always trying to find new ways for families to interact. I’m updated during the day via an app of what he’s doing and also receive pictures at the end of the day, which leaves me feeling very comfortable seeing how happy and settled he is. We also reserve a monthly observation of his progress. They do lots of different activities and messy play each day which my boy loves!

Almond House deserves its OFSTED Outstanding rating.
My twins have been attending since 2018 and we have only positive things to say about the staff, the location and activities and the regular, helpful updates on their development.
The weekly menu is always diverse and freshly made.
The management
make you feel important to the nursery and to your child’s success.
Recommend highly for anyone looking for a safe, supportive place for their little ones to succeed.

My daughter has been going since 2017 and she absolutely loves it. The team are fantastic They are welcoming and are always there to help. They also keep you updated, this can include the meals for the week, any projects they are doing. They have been given ‘outstanding’ from Ofsted which says it all.
I cannot think of a better place to send my children. I can’t thank them enough for all their help and support - The nursery isn’t local to me but it’s the best by far.

Thank you so much Kayleigh. I am so glad you are happy with everything at nursery.

Almond House staff are friendly and welcoming! My little boy has been attending for 18 months and from the first visit they have made him feel settled and happy. He has come on leap and bounds since starting nursery and is now a very confident little boy. The menu created by the chef every week is varied
and sounds delicious - even though he can be fussy at home he always finishes every meal at nursery. I have just signed up my second baby to Almond House even though we have moved further away because I feel so comfortable knowing they will take great care of him.

My son has been attending this nursery since just before he turned 1 and is still there now at 3 years old. The girls were so welcoming and helped put me at ease, I knew he was in safe hands. The bond my son has grown over the years with the girls is perfect, and how he has developed with his learning
and speaking is incredible. He has made so many friends and having the app they provide I can see what he gets up to in the day and keep photos for memories. Not only that but they provide delicious healthy meals for the children. They love being outdoors and playing. Everything is brilliant in regards to this nursery.

We love Almond House Nursery. Our daughter has been attending for just over 8 months and is thriving. We love the limited numbers and calm atmosphere that Almond House provides. A typical day involves lots of messy play, outdoor play, healthy meals, flexible nap times, exploring different environments,
lots of reading and play-based learning. The staff are wonderful and my little one settled in straight away. We get regular updates during the day with the use of their app and every day we get photos of their day.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Almond House Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.789 for Almond House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.789

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Almond House Nursery is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
